Rubino Periodontics and Implant Dentistry dentists

Dr. Rubino’s two sons, Ryan and Tyler, will be joining the practice.

Dr. Thomas Rubino has been serving Florida communities since 1988, accumulating over 35 years of clinical experience. His recognition as a “Top Dentist” in Sarasota Magazine and inclusion in the Consumer Research Council of America’s Guide to America’s Top Dentists reflect his commitment to excellence. As a faculty member at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, Dr. Rubino stays at the cutting edge of periodontal science while training future dental specialists.

Dr. Ryan Rubino and Dr. Tyler Rubino continue the family tradition of exceptional periodontal care, bringing fresh perspectives and advanced training in the latest techniques. Together, this three-generation team offers unparalleled skill, experience, and dedication.

State-of-the-Art Technology in a Modern Facility

Our Sun City Center dental office features the latest dental technology to enhance diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient comfort:

  • OP300 3D CT Scanner: This advanced imaging system creates detailed three-dimensional views of your oral structures, allowing for precise diagnosis and accurate dental implant planning. 
  • Guided Implant Surgery: Using 3D imaging data and surgical guides, we can place dental implants with remarkable precision, improving outcomes and reducing surgical time.
  • Ultrasonic Scaling Technology: These gentle yet effective instruments use high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque and tartar with less discomfort than traditional hand scaling.
  • Digital X-Rays: Provide high-quality diagnostic images with significantly less radiation exposure compared to traditional film radiography.
  • Medical-Grade HEPA Air Purifiers: Continuously filter the air in our office, removing 99.97% of airborne particles, bacteria, and viruses to maintain the cleanest possible environment.

These technologies enable us to provide minimally invasive treatments with predictable, successful outcomes and comfortable recovery experiences.

Dental Implant Solutions in Sun City Center

All-on-Four New Teeth in One DayMissing teeth can significantly impact your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental implants offer the most advanced solution for tooth replacement, providing a permanent restoration that functions just like natural teeth. At our Sun City Center office, our board-certified periodontists specialize in all aspects of dental implant dentistry.

Our dental implant services include:

  • Single Tooth Replacement: If you’re missing one tooth, a single dental implant provides the most natural and durable replacement option.
  • Multiple Tooth Replacement: For patients missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a fixed solution that doesn’t require altering healthy adjacent teeth. 
  • Full-Arch Restoration: Missing all or most of your teeth? Our Lakewood Ranch periodontists offer full-arch dental implant solutions, including All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant-supported dentures.
  • New Teeth in One Day: For qualifying patients, we offer same-day dental implants, allowing you to walk out of our Lakewood Ranch office with functional teeth in just one visit.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures? Implant-supported dentures snap securely onto dental implants, eliminating slipping, clicking, and the need for messy adhesives.

Comprehensive Gum Disease Treatment

gum diseaseGum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes complications, and stroke. At Rubino Periodontics in Sun City Center, we provide thorough gum disease treatment to restore and maintain your oral health.

Recognizing the Signs of Gum Disease:

  • Gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing
  • Red, swollen, or tender gum tissue
  • Gums receding or pulling away from teeth
  • Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste
  • Loose, shifting, or separating teeth
  • Changes in your bite alignment
  • Pus or discharge between teeth and gums
  • Pain when chewing

Our Gum Disease Treatment Approach:

Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment:

  • Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline
  • Ultrasonic scaling for thorough, gentle cleanings
  • Antibiotic therapy to control bacterial infection
  • Laser Therapy uses laser technology to remove diseased tissue and bacteria while promoting healing.
  • Periodontal maintenance to prevent disease recurrence

Surgical Gum Disease Treatment:

Dr. Thomas Rubino has been treating gum disease for over three decades, and our entire Sun City Center team is committed to using evidence-based approaches to achieve the best outcomes for our patients.

Innovative Treatment for Gum Recession

gum recessionReceding gums expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, increased decay risk, and aesthetic concerns. Many Sun City Center residents experience gum recession due to aggressive brushing, gum disease, genetics, or natural aging. Traditional gum grafting involves removing tissue from the roof of your mouth and suturing it over areas of recession. While effective, this approach requires incisions, sutures, and a longer healing period.

At our Sun City Center office, Dr. Ryan Rubino offers the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, a minimally invasive approach to treating gum recession. This innovative procedure provides:

  • No Cutting: Only a tiny pinhole is made in the gum tissue
  • No Stitches: The procedure requires no sutures
  • No Grafting: No tissue needs to be taken from your palate
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience very little pain
  • Fast Recovery: Return to normal activities quickly
  • Immediate Results: See cosmetic improvement right away
  • Multiple Sites: Treat several areas of recession in one visit

If you’re experiencing gum recession in Sun City Center or the surrounding areas, the Chao Pinhole® Technique may be the comfortable, effective solution you’re looking for.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implant Success

Adequate jawbone density and volume are essential for successful dental implant placement. When teeth have been missing for a while or when gum disease has caused bone loss, bone grafting can rebuild the necessary bone structure. Our Sun City Center periodontists perform various bone grafting procedures:

  • Socket Preservation: After tooth extraction, bone graft material is placed in the empty socket to preserve the bone ridge and facilitate future implant placement.
  • Ridge Augmentation: This procedure rebuilds the width and height of the jawbone ridge that has deteriorated, creating an adequate foundation for dental implants.
  • Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation): When placing implants in the upper back jaw, a sinus lift adds bone below the sinus cavity to provide sufficient support for implant posts.
  • Block Bone Grafts: For more extensive bone loss, a section of bone from another area of your mouth or body can be transplanted to rebuild the jaw.
  • Guided Bone Regeneration: Barrier membranes are used to protect bone graft material and encourage natural bone regrowth over time.

We use various grafting materials, including synthetic bone, processed donor bone (allograft), and bone from other species (xenograft), selecting the best option for your specific needs and preferences.

Sedation Dentistry for Your Comfort

Many patients feel anxious about dental procedures, especially oral surgery. Our Sun City Center office offers sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort and help you relax during treatment. Whether you have dental anxiety or simply want a more comfortable experience, we can customize sedation to meet your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses specifically on the health of the gums, bone, and other structures that support your teeth, as well as the placement of dental implants. After completing four years of dental school, periodontists undergo an additional three years of specialized training in periodontics. 

At our Sun City Center office, all three doctors—Dr. Thomas Rubino, Dr. Ryan Rubino, and Dr. Tyler Rubino are board-certified periodontists, meaning they’ve demonstrated the highest level of competency in their specialty through rigorous examination.

You should consider scheduling a consultation at our Sun City Center office if you’re experiencing:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
  • Red, swollen, or tender gum tissue
  • Gums that are receding or pulling away from teeth
  • Persistent bad breath despite regular brushing and flossing
  • Loose, shifting, or separating teeth
  • Teeth that appear longer (due to gum recession)
  • Pain or discomfort when chewing
  • Pus or discharge between teeth and gums
  • Missing teeth you’d like to replace with dental implants

Additionally, your general dentist may refer you to our periodontists for specialized evaluation or treatment, even if you don’t have obvious symptoms. Many people have gum disease without realizing it, as early stages often don’t cause pain.

No referral is required to schedule an appointment at our Sun City Center office. While many patients come to us through referrals from their general dentists, you can contact us directly if you:

  • Have concerns about your gum health
  • Are interested in dental implants
  • Want a second opinion about the recommended treatment
  • Are experiencing symptoms of gum disease
  • Have been told you need to see a periodontist

If your general dentist has referred you, please bring any X-rays, records, or referral information to your first appointment. This information helps us provide the most efficient and effective care.
